lib: replace packed attributes

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC. Replace macro
__rte_packed with __rte_packed_begin to push existing pack value
and set packing to 1-byte and macro __rte_packed_end to restore
the pack value prior to the push.

Macro __rte_packed_end is deliberately utilized to trigger a
MSVC compiler warning if no existing packing has been pushed allowing
easy identification of locations where the __rte_packed_begin is
missing.

use C linkage where appropriate in headers

use C linkage where appropriate in headers

Assure that 'extern "C" { /../ }' do not cover files included from a
particular header file, and address minor issues resulting from this
change of order.

Dealing with C++ should delegate to the individual include file level,
rather than being imposed by the user of that file. For example,
forcing C linkage prevents __Generic macros being replaced with
overloaded static inline functions in C++ translation units.

Eliminate 'extern "C"' from files which do not declare any symbols
(e.g., only macros or struct types).

On the other hand, the headers check is too naive in assuming that all
headers must contain a 'extern "C"'. Such a check was added in commit
1ee492bdc4ff ("buildtools/chkincs: check missing C++ guards").
Since this current change results in many headers not containing such
a token, remove the check for 'extern "C"' until we have a better
implementation.

ethdev: add flow item for RoCE infiniband BTH

IB(InfiniBand) is one type of networking used in high-performance
computing with high throughput and low latency. Like Ethernet,
IB defines a layered protocol (Physical, Link, Network, Transport
Layers). IB provides native support for RDMA(Remote DMA), an
extension of the DMA that allows direct access to remote host
memory without CPU intervention. IB network requires NICs and
switches to support the IB protocol.

RoCE(RDMA over Converged Ethernet) is a network protocol that
allows RDMA to run on Ethernet. RoCE encapsulates IB packets on
Ethernet and has two versions, RoCEv1 and RoCEv2. RoCEv1 is an
Ethernet link layer protocol, IB packets are encapsulated in the
Ethernet layer and use Ethernet type 0x8915. RoCEv2 is an internet
layer protocol, IB packets are encapsulated in UDP payload and
use a destination port 4791, The format of the RoCEv2 packet is
as follows:
ETH + IP + UDP(dport 4791) + IB(BTH + ExtHDR + PAYLOAD + CRC)

BTH(Base Transport Header) is the IB transport layer header, RoCEv1
and RoCEv2 both contain this header. This patch introduces a new
RTE item to match the IB BTH in RoCE packets. One use of this match
is that the user can monitor RoCEv2's CNP(Congestion Notification
Packet) by matching BTH opcode 0x81.

This patch also adds the testpmd command line to match the RoCEv2
BTH. Usage example:

testpmd> flow create 0 group 1 ingress pattern
eth / ipv4 / udp dst is 4791 / ib_bth opcode is 0x81
dst_qp is 0xd3 / end actions queue index 0 / end
